Of the Hawke that hath broken her wing by some mischance.

IT hapneth somewhile that a Hawke breaketh her wing by mischance, as by bating against the ground, or otherwise. Master Mallopin sayth, that when a hawke hath her Wing broken after that manner, yee must take Sanguis Draconis, Bole Armoniacke, Gum arabicke, white Frankensence which is called Olibanum, Masticke, Aloes Cicotrine, of each of them a like quantity, and a reasonable quantity of fine meale flow∣er. Make a powder of all the said things, tempering it with the white of an egge, and make thereof a playster, and lay it to the hurt when ye haue first set it right againe. Then crosse her wings one ouer another, as though they were not broken, and mayle her well and fast, so as she may not stirre them, and let the meat that you giue her be cut in small Pel∣lettes. Remoue not the playster for seuen or eight dayes, and when yée lay on another, in any wise beware that that wing be not remoued: For if it be neuer so little remoued or displaced, your labour is lost, and your Hawke marred for euer.

Therefore keepe her in that order by the space of 14. or 15. dayes, setting her vpon a very soft cushion, and let her meate bée good and new killed, and giue her meetely good

gorges of it, for shée néedes not to bée kept low to recouer her health the better.
